Sometimes, these footprints alter gene expression (i.e., expression of the gene in which they have been left behind) even after their related TE has moved to another location on the genome.

The four reports in Nature Methods and Nature Genetics describe novel strategies for processing whole genomic DNA that result in substantial enrichment of a small part (up to 2%) of the genome.

Dr. Laila El-Khattabi (Sorbonne University Hospitals and the Brain Institute, Paris, France) will share results from the CHROMAPS project, a multi-institutional European collaboration utilizing OGM to ...

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.
